Bought a new SSD. And PC started to behave strangely

[dominik.veleta16]

Hello, I bought a new SSD (Samsung 860 EVO 500GB) I made a clean installation of Windows 10 and since then it started to behave strangely, some applications can not be loaded from the SSD (Cortana, windows settings etc...) so i made a clean install of windows 10 again (At the second install of windows I had a black and red screen when booting). Is this a bad SSD?

I suppose it is possible. Any device can be faulty. If you are unsure about it, return it. And get a new SSD.

I've had great luck with Samsung SSD's.

These problems started when I joined the new SSD. I will never live with anything like this

Normally the SSD is just plug and play. It does need to be formatted and partitioned like any other drive.

I changed SSD and all problems are gone. I have Crucial MX500 500GB

Good, I'm glad you are back up and running.
